Mission Conference With Rincon Mountain

This weekend we are attending a three-day mission conference hosted by Rincon Mountain Presbyterian Church or Tucson, AZ. Rincon is a big supporter of our ministry in Honduras. This summer they will visit Honduras to attend their second mission trip with us.

Friday night we attended a dinner with 25 people from Rincon. We talked at great length about the upcoming short-term mission trip to Honduras and invited the participants to prayerfully consider participating.

On Saturday Mike and Erin were afforded an opportunity to share about our ministry in Honduras. We talked at great length about some of the individuals that have been impacted by our ministry. Erin was asked to spend some time with the kids of the church. She shared with them stories about the Honduran kids and she taught them how to make homemade tortillas.

On Sunday we will return to Rincon and worship there. Mike will also be asked to give a brief presentation about Honduras during the service.
